of  this   Rcniiissafice  Chesty  rcith  I)u//i(iscus  L.ockivork. 


This  Chest  was  bought  through  (ioverniiUMit  Officials  in  l*aris 
sotr.e  yer.rs  ago. 

The  body  inul  tVaniework  are  hand-forged  iron.  The  beauritul 
locking  -nechanisni  was  fashioned  in  Damascus  of  hammered  steel. 
The  front  lock  is  a  "  blind,"  the  true  lock  being  on  top  ot  the  lid, 
concealed  under  an  escutcheon  in  the  center.  It  cle\'erly  conceals  a 
kevhole  that  admits  a  key  which  cannot  be  duplicated  without  the  aid 
of  the  mister  key.  The  key  operates  nine  levers.  The  nine  smaller 
buttons  ;ire  of  o;old.       Ihe  other  (larger)  buttons  are  ot  steel. 

Priiiubly  the  chest  belonged  to  a  high  Turkish  Official,  or 
(ieneral,  possibly  the  Sublime  Porte,  judging  from  the  insignia  \  isible 
under  th^  lock  by  means  of  a  strong  glass. 

Thi^  anti(]ue  was  quoted  in  L.ondon  at/,900  several  years  ago. 
The  only  known  chest  resembling  it  is  in  Musee  Cduny,  i*aris. 
That  example  is  tar  interior  to  this  in  every  respect, 

Thi,  chest  is  to  be  sold  because  owner  has  abandoned  house- 
keepiuLi;  and  purposes  traveling  abroad.  Buyer  may  rely  absolutely 
upon  there  being  no  duplicate.  Apart  from  its  artistic  value  it  can 
be  used  tor  guarding  the  family  jewels  and  silver.  There  is  a  small 
insiile  compartment  which  also  has  a  burn;lar-proot  locking  mechanism. 

The  chest  is  in  pertect  condition.  The  Chest  may  be  inspected 
at  any  tii  le  on  application  to  the  aucticMieers.

IN  the  mind  of  every  book-collector  at  times  arises  the  thougiu 
whether,  after  completin^^  and  studyin<^  certain  lines  of  col- 
lecting, it  would  be  better  to  rest  content  and  review  what  has 
been  done  or — like  Alexander,  who  si^jhed  for  new  worlds  to 
conquer — turn  to  other  lines  of  equal  interest  and  conquer  them 
so  far  as  may  be  possible.  In  regartl  to  the  collection  of  Early 
Nineteenth  Century  Poets  and  Authors  described  in  this  cata- 
logue, certainly  one  might  still  further  complete  it  by  adding 
another  edition  of  a  Shelle)',  a  Lamb  or  a  Byron  that  contains 
some  minute  differences  comjDared  with  earlier  or  other  editions, 
but  which  has  no  literary,  and  only  the  smallest  biblioorajjliical 
interest.  Viewed  from  such  a  point,  there  is  practically  no 
finality.  When  the  rarest,  the  first,  and  the  best  editions  of  an 
author  have  been  obtained,  there  virtually  must  be  the  end. 
This  latter  principle  has  mainly  been  the  guide  of  Mr.  Dillman. 
Those  authors  that  most  attracted  him  have  been  collected  in 
the  rarest,  the  first  and  the  best  editions,  as  a  glance  througli 
the  catalogue  will  show,  and  thoroughly  studied,  but  the  thought 
has  been  long  in  his  mind  of  pursuing  certain  other  lines  (^f 
equal  interest  and  importance,  which  partake  both  of  the  highest 
literary  quality  and  also  have  the  added  zest  of  rarity.  It  is  not 
that  the  interest  has  died  away,  or  the  novelty  faded,  or  that 
love  of  the  chase  has  become  lessened,  but  that  experience  has 
shown  that  to  attain  a  measure  of  success  the  entire  energy 
of  the  individual  must  be  concentrated  on  that  which  is  being 
undertaken  and  other  distractions  laid  aside.  This  is  especially- 
the  case  in  book-collecting,  as  the  distractions  are  so  varied  and 
so  captivating  that  nothing  can  be  accomplished  without  some 
sacrifice.  Mr.  Dillman  has,  therefore,  decided  to  dispose  of  the 
present  special  collection,  which  does  not  by  any  means  repre- 
sent his  entire  Library,  that  he  might  not  be  temptetl  to  add 
items  of  minor  interest,  and  concentrate  all  future  attention 
along  the  new  lines  which  haVfe  been  for  some  time  under  con- 
sideration. The  natural  regret  with  which  he  parts  from  these 
old  friends  and  companions  that  have  cheered  many  weary  hours 
is  mitigated  by  the  fact  that  their  acquirement  by  others  will 
give  a  like  pleasure,  and  l)y  the  conviction  that  they  will  find 
other  homes  where  they  will  be  as  much  appreciated  as  they 
have  been  by  him. 


In  looking  over  a  collection  composed  mainly  of  the  First 
Editions  of  Early  Nineteenth  Century  Poets  and  Authors,  it 
is  difficult  to  select  items  to  which  special  attention  should  be 
called.  Reproductions  of  the  title-pages  of  ten  of  the  rarest 
have  been  added  to  the  catalogue.  Four  of  these  are  the  "  first 
books"  of  famous  authors,  of  which  Mr.  Dillman  has  secured 
about  twenty-five :  Browning's  "  Pauline,"  a  presentation  copy 
from  his  father  to  the  poet's  uncle,  Reuben  Browning;  "Sir 
Hugh  the  Heron,"  written  by  Dante  Gabriel  Rossetti  when  a 
schoolboy,  privately  printed  by  an  indulgent  grandfather,  and 
not  since  reprinted;  "Poems"  by  John  Keats  in  the  original 
boards,  uncut,  the  copy  given  by  the  poet  to  the  daughters  of 
John  Hamilton  Reynolds,  with  presentation  inscription  on  the 
title;  and  Tennyson's  "Poems  by  Two  Brothers,"  an  uncut 
copy  on  Large  Paper  in  the  original  boards. 

The  rarest  book  in  the  sale  in  uncut  condition  and  in  the 
original  boards  is  undoubtedly  Charles  Lamb's  "  Tales  from 
Shakepeare."  There  are,  as  well,  about  thirteen  scarce  original 
edititions  of  Lamb,  including  his  first  appearance  in  print  in 
Coleridge's  "  Poems  on  \^arious  Subjects,"  and  Charles  Lloyd's 
"  Priscilla  Farmer;"  and  nearly  as  many  of  Shelley,  including 
"Queen  Mab,"  with  the  title  and  imprint  unmutilated,  and 
with  the  leaf  of  dedication. 

Other  notable  items  are  the  original  editions  of  Edward 
Fitzgerald's  "  Rubaiyat  of  Omar  Khayyam;"  Mrs.  Browning's 
rare  privately  printed  "Sonnets,"  1847;  Byron's  "Hours  of 
Idleness,"  1S07,  on  Large  Paper;  the  first  collective  edition  of 
Milton's  Poems,  1645,  and  the  first  book  bearing  his  name,  with 
the  rare  portrait  by  Marshall  not  cut  down,  as  is  usually  the 
case;  Rossetti's  "Poems,"  1869,  in  unique  state,  being  proof 
sheets  gathered  up  by  William  Michael  Rossetti  after  the  poet's 
death;  the  original  edition  of  "The  Germ;"  the  Rowfant 
copies  of  Keats'  "  Endymion"  and  "  Lamia,"  with  insertions  of 
portions  of  the  original  MSS.,  and  other  interesting  items  by 
Frederick  Locker-Lampson,  and  a  few  choice  autograph  letters 
of  Charles  Lamb,  Rossetti,  etc. 

The  American  authors  represented  include  first  editions  of 
Walt  Whitman's  "Leaves  of  Grass,"  1855;  George  Bancroft's 
"Poems,"  1823,  which  he  tried  so  hard  to  suppress;  the  first 
work  of  Judge  Story,  "The  Power  of  Solitude,"  and  Bryant's 
"  Poems,"  182 1.

rough,  by  F.  Bedford.      London:  R.  and  J.  Tonson,  1684. 

*  First  edition  of  Mrs.  Behn's  first  volume  of  poems.      Most  of  her  dramatic  pieces

and  vigor,  were  also  severely  condemned   in  a  not  too  particular  age  for  their  licen- 
tiousness.    To  AstrKa  (or  Mrs.  Behn)  Pope  addressed  his  couplet: 
"  The  Stage,  how  loosely  does  Astrxa  tread."

*  The  Extremely  Rare  First  Issue  of  the  famous  "  Sonnets  "  before  Mrs.  Browning 
tried  to  hide  this  beautiful  expression  of  her  love  for  Robert  Browning  by  calling 
them  "Sonnets  from  the  Portuguese."  Only  a  very  few  were  privately  printed, 
through — it  is  said — Mrs.  Mitford.  In  perfect  condition,  enclosed  in  solander  case 
of  full  blue  crushed  levant  morocco,  gilt  lettered,  by  Bradstreets.  [See  reproduction

twelve  copies  being  known,  and  one  of  these  a  damaged  one.  The  importance  of 
this  copy  further  enhanced  by  the  fact  of  its  being  the  one  presented  by  the  father  of 
the  poet  to  the  iatter's  uncle,  Reuben  Browning,  with  the  following  inscriptions  on 
the  title-page,  the  first  being  apparently  written  by  Browning,  Senr. ,  the  second — 
which  is  signed — by  the  uncle  : 

"  By  Robert  Browning,  his  first  publication  privately  distributed." 
"  This  Copy  was  given  me  by  his  father,  my  eldest  brother.    Reuben  Browning." 
Robert  Browning   was  only   20  years  of  age  when   he   wrote  this  volume,  and  it  was 
published,  it  is  said,  at  the  expense    of   his  aunt,  only  80  being  printed.      The  poet,

scared  at  his  youthful  temerity,  or  considering  it  as  not  worthy  of  his  powers,  immedi- 
ately recalled  and  destroyed  every  copy  he  could  obtain  ;  and  as  there  are  naturally 
few  buyers  for  the  first  production  of  an  unknown  author,  it  meant  practically  the 
whole  edition,  possibly  merely  the  review  copies  escaping.  The  author  republished 
it  in  his  collected  works  nearly  40  years  later,  omitting  a  few  lines,  and  carefully 
revising  the  punctuation,  although  he  repeatedly  stated  that  it  was  a  "crude,  pre- 
liminary sketch,  written  in  pursuance  of  a  foolish  plan."  Later  critics,  while  con- 
demning the  obscurity  of  many  passages,  have  not  entirely  agreed  with  the  author's 
own  opinion,  and  in  the  study  of  the  development  of  the  genius  of  a  great  man, 
nothing  can  be  more  interesting  or  valuable  than  the  first  attempts,  even  though  they 
be  immature. 

Laid  in  is  a  letter  of  ^^  Kalisch  to  Reuben  Browning  criticising  the  work.

London:  Longman,  1837. 

*  Pirst  Edition.     Scarce  with  the  paper  label.     The  advertisement   leaves   (2)  are  ^ ^ 
dated  "April   15,    1837,"  proving  it  one  of  the  earliest   copies  issued.     The  tragedy 

was  performed  at  Covent  Garden  Theatre  on  the  first  of  May  in  the  same  year, 
Macready  (to  whom  the  volume  is  dedicated)  taking  the  principal  character,  assisted 
by  Helen  Faucit,  VandenhofT,  and  others,  the  cast  being  given  in  the  book.  This 
and  two  other  plays  by  Browning  were  all  that  were  ever  produced  on  the  stage — "  A 
Blot  on  the  'Scutcheon,"  and  "  Columbe's  Birthday"  (or  "The  Duchess  of  Cleves  "). 
MissCushman  acted  in  this  latter  in  1S44.

pieces.  Of  these  he  had  a  very  small  number  printed  for  his  own  private  purposes,

The  Rare  First  Edition  on  Large  Paper.  Very  few  copies  were  issued  in  this  form. 
It  was  the  severe  attack  on  this  book  by  the  Edinburgh  Review  that  caused  Byron  to 
write  his  masterly  satire  "  English  Bards  and  Scotch  Reviewers."  [See  reproduction 
of  title-page.]

8vo,  original   boards,  paper   label    (back  slightly   damaged),   uncut. 

London,  1812. 

*  First  Edition.  Rare.  Byron  did  not  compete  for  the  pri/.e;  but  the  Committee 
not  being  satisfied  with  any  addresses  submitted,  brushed  the  whole  lot  aside,  and 
requested  Byron  to  write  the  Prologue  for  Mr.  Elliston.  This  action,  of  course, 
caused  a  storm  of  indignation,  so,   in  justification,  all  of  the  addresses  were  printed.

148  THE  VAMPYRE:   a  Tale.     8vo,  wrappers,  uncut.      London,  1819. 

*  The  !•  irst  Edition.  .Scarce.  Byron,  Shelley,  Mary  Godwin  and  Polidori  were  on 
a  visit  to  Lake  Geneva  when  Byron  recited  a  part  of  Coleridge's  "  Christabel,"  then 
unpublished.     As  he  read  the  lines: 

"Her  silken  robe,  and  inner  vest,  dropt  to  her  feet,  and  full  in  view, 
Behold!  her  bosom  and  half  her  side.  A  sight  to  dream  of,  not  to'tcll!  " 
They  had  so  strong  an  effect  on  the  vivid  imagination  of  Shelley  that  he  fainted.  It 
was  then  proposed  that  each  of  them  should  write  a  weird  story.  Under  this  impulse 
Mary  Godwin  wrote  "  Frankenstein,"  and  this  tale  of  "  The  Vampyre  "  was  the  second 
and  only  other  one  written,  which  Polidori  asserted  was  by  Byron,  but  which  Byron 
said  was  by  Polidori  himself. 

The  lengthy  introduction  describes  the  residence  of  Byron.  Shelley  and  the  two 
daughters  of  Godwin  at  Geneva,  dealing  with  Shelley's  life  there,  and  denying  the 
imputations  about  Byron's  manner  of  life.  It  closes  with  an  account  of  Byron's  resi- 
dence on  the  Island  of  Mitylene.

224  RUBAIYAT  OF  OMAR  KHAYYAM,     the    Astronomer-Poet    of 

Persia.  Translated  into  English  Verse.  The  Rare  First  Edition. 
Small  4to,  original  wrappers,  pp.  21.      London:   Quaritch,  1859. 

*  Fitzgerald  finished  the  translation  of  the  Rubaiyat  in  January,  1858,  and  sent  it  to 
Frazer's  Magazine,  where  it  was  held  by  the  editor  for  a  year,  and  then  returned  to  the 

D    i  ^  author.     He  then  had  it  printed  by  Bernard  Quaritch,  the  edition  being  of  250  copies, 

•r  ^>3 ,  U  O  of  which  200  were  presented  to  the  publisher.      Quaritch  found  the  public  unapprecia- 

tive,  and  tried  to  get  rid  of  it  at  any  price,  in  about  a  year  after  its  publication,  as 
Swinburne  and  Rossetti  tell  of  buying  copies  of  it  atone  penny  each  in  i860.  Bernard 
Quaritch  doubtless  later  thought  many  times  that  the  disposal  of  it  at  that  price  must 
have  been  somewhat  precipitate,  as  this  First  Edition  is  now  one  of  the  rarest  and  most- 
sought-for  books  of  the  latter  half  of  the  nineteenth  century.  [See  reproduction  of

Campbell,  Moore,  Byron,  Coleridge,  Wordsworth,  etc.     Hunt  in  his  autobiography, 

^ '"^^  writing  of  this  poem,  states  that  "  It  drew  upon  my  head  personal  hostility,  and  I 

have  reason  to-  believe  that  its  inconsiderate  and,    in  some  respects,  unwarrantable 

levity,  was  the  origin  of  the   attacks  which  I  afterwards  sustained   from  political 

antagonists."     Later  writers  have  described  it  as  sparkling  and  brilliant.

parts.)  London,  1822-23 

/  O  "^  *  The  Liberal  started  with  the  best  of  anticipations,  numbering  among  its  con- 

tributors, beside  the  editor  Leigh  Hunt,  Lord  Byron,  Shelley,  and  Hazlitt;  but,  with 
the  fatality  and  curious  coincidence  that  attended  several  other  journalistic  enter- 
prises of  the  editor,  it  did  not  get  beyond  its  fourth  number.  During  its  progress, 
however,  it  was  the  means  of  adding  several  notable  pieces  to  the  world's  litera- 
ture. In  it  First  Appeared  Lord  Byron's  Vision  of  Judgment,  and  Heaven  and 
Earth,  a  Mystery:  Shelley's  famous  translation  of  the  May-day  Night  from  Faust, 
and  his  charming  Song  written  for  an  Indian  air  ("I  arise  from  dreams  of  thee"), 
and  some  of  William  Hazlitt's  essays,  notably  that  on  the  Scotch  character.  The 
set  is  very  rarely  met  with  in  its  original  condition  as  issued,  as  in  the  copy  here 
described.  Laid  in  is  Byron's  preface  to  the  Vision  of  Judgment,  which  first 
appeared  in  the  second  edition  of  Part  I.

volumes  contain  the  second  edition  of  Part  I. 

254  BACCHUS  IN  TUSCANY,  a  Diihyrambic  Poem  from  the  Italian  of

i2mo,  original  boards,  with  paper  label,  uncut.      London,  1825. 

•First  Edition.  A  Remarkably  Interesting  copy,  being  evidently  Leigh  Hunt's 
own,  and  corrected  by  him  in  his  own  autograph.  Numerous  manuscript  correc- 
tions occur — in  fact,  very  few  pages  are  without  one  or  more;  and  although  the 
author's  signature  does  not  occur  anywhere,  the  matter  of  the  corrections  is  such 
that  they  must  undoubtedly  have  been  made  by  Leigh  Hunt  himself.  The  cor- 
rections are  of  various  natures.  Some  are  the  correct  rendering  of  a  word  that 
the  compositor  had  evidently  misread;  others  are  a  change  in  spelling;  some  are 
punctuation  marks;  and  further,  a  new  choice  of  word  or  expression.  They  occur 
not  only  throughout  the  poem,  but  are  also  to  be  found  in  the  Notes.

*The  issue  with  the  title-page  dated  1844  is  usually  considered  to  be  the  First

/  The   1844  issue  is  peculiar  as  having  the  errata   line,  while  that   dated   1845   is 

•  '•**'  without  it,  but  contains  the  error  uncorrected.     The  example  with  the  title  dated 

1845,  which  follows  below,  contains  advertisement  leaves  dated  December,  1844. 
Which  is  the  genuine  first  issue  is  a  bibliographical  problem  that  appears  un-

full  dark  blue  crushed  levant  morocco  gilt,  gilt  top,  uncut.  London: 
Printed  for  Taylor  and  Hessey^  1818. 

*First  Edition,   with   the   five-line   leaf  of   errata.     The   Locker   copy,   with   his 
^  ftliO  ^  book-plate,  and  some  exceedingly  interesting  insertions.     These  are: 

/  A  fragment  of  four  lines  from  the  manuscJript  of  Keats'  Lamia,  once  belonging 

to  Joseph  Severn,  and  differing  entirely  from  the  published  version. 

The  severe  review  of  the  work  extracted  from  the  original  number  of  "The 
Quarterly"  in  which  it  appeared.  It  was  this  review  which  (Caused  Byron's 
caustic  couplet  about  Keats'  death. 

A  part  of  a  leaf  cut  out  of  a  "Common  Place  Book"  containing  four  lines  by 
Thomas  Hood,  as  follows: 

"What  is  a  modern  Poet's  fate? 

To  write  his  thoughts  upon  a  slate: 

The  critic  spits  on  what  is  done, 

Gives  it  a  wipe — and  all  is  gone. — T.  Hood." 

Locker  adds,  in  a  note  on  the  fly-leaf,  that  he  showed  this  Common  Place  Book 
to  Lord  Tennyson,  who  was  much  amused  at  Hood's  lines  and  asked  permission 
to  add  a  couplet  of  his  own,  which  he  did,  after  adding  the  words  "a  joke"  in 
front  of  Hood's  verse.     The  lines  are  as  follows: 

j  "While  he  lives,  the  OWLS !  ! 
truth       ^    \^r\^^^  he's  (jgad  the  GHOULS  !  ! ! 

A.  T." 

Locker  further  adds  (in  pencil)  :  "The  leaf  of  errata  after  the  prefatJe  is  very 
often  missing,  in  this  copy  it  is  not  even  cut  open.  I  hope  no  Yankee,  who  will 
probably  some  day  add  this  vol.  to  his  Library  at  Chicago,  will  have  the  grace 
not  to  open  it.  It  is  sometimes  found  at  the  end  of  the  Volume.  With  question- 
able taste  I  have  inserted  the  Quarterly  criticism,  which  contains  truth,  but  is 
brutally  unfair,"  and  other  pencilled  remarks.     The  leaf  of  errata  is  ?iot  cut  open.

*  First  Edition.  Written  by  James  White,  friend  of  Charles  Lamb.  Southey 
and  others  state  that  some  additions  and  corrections  were  made  by  Lamb,  but  if  so 
the  latter  never  acknowledged  it.  Lamb  had  a  great  admiration  for  these  letters, 
saying  that  they  were  "the  best  imitations  he  had  ever  seen,"  that  White  was  a 
"wit  of  the  first  magnitude,"  etc.     In  fine  condition. 

300  THE  ANNUAL  ANTHOLOGY.      (Edited     by     Robert    Southey.) 

2  vols.  i2mo,  half  green  crushed  levant  morocco,  gilt  tops,  uncut, 
by  R.  VV.  Smith.      Bristol,  1799-1800. 

*  Contains  the  first  appearance  of  many  poems,  contributed  by  Charles  Lamb, 
Coleridge,  Southey,  Dyer,  Beddoes,  Joseph  Cottle,  Lloyd,  and  others.  In  it  occurs 
Coleridge's  lines  "This  Lime-Tree  Bower  my  Prison,"  with  its  reference  to  Charles 
Lamb  and  his  sister,  who  had  just  arrived  on  a  visit  to  Coleridge,  when  the 
latter  met  with  an  accident.  In  it  Lamb  is  called  "My  gentle-hearted  Charles," 
the  first  appHcTation  of  the  term  "gentle"  to  Lamb. 

For  the  earliest  poetical  writings  of  Charles  Lamb  see  Nos.  169  and  170,  Cole-

•  First  Edition.  Enclosed  in  a  full  green  crushed  levant  morocco  solander  case, 
gilt  and  lettered.  Lamb's  first  attempt  at  play-writing.  It  was  written  in  1799, 
and  sent  to  Charles  Kemble,  in  hope  of  the  actor's  presenting  it  to  the  public,  but 
Kemble  promptly  lost  it,  and  the  consequence  was  that  the  author  wrote  another 
version.  The  poem  "To  Helen"  is  Mary  Lamb's  first  appearance  in  print.  The 
"Fragments  of  Burton"  was  a  mild  attempt  by  Lamb  at  a  literary  forgery.

1807. 

*  The  Extremely  Rare  First  Edition,  in  Original  Boards,  the  paper  not  quite 
uniform  in  shade,  but  the  Volumes  Entirely  Uncut. 

The  plates  were  designed  by  Mulready,  and  engraved  by  William  Blake.  They 
did  not  meet  with  Lamb's  approbation,  he  characterising  one  as  "damn'd  beastly 
vulgarity,"  and  that  the  incidents  depicted  by  some  of  the  others  were  not  men- 
tioned in  the  tales.  Mrs.  Godwin,  whom  he  calls  the  "bad  baby,"  he  blames  as 
responsible  for  the  selection  of,  and  titles  to  the  plates.  Charles  Lamb  wrote  part 
of  the  preface,  and  six  of  the  tales — King  Lear,  Macbeth,  Timon,  Romeo,  Hamlet, 
and  Othello,  and  revised  the  whole.  The  remainder  was  written  by  Mary  Lamb. 
The  brother  considered  that  Othello  was  his  best,  and  that  Mary's  best  was 
Pericles.     Sixty  guineas  was  paid  for  writing  it. 

Very  Few  copies  are  in  existence  in  the  Original  Boards,  Uncut.  Each  volume 
is  enclosed  in  a  solander  case  of  full  seal-brown  straight  grain  morocco,  gilt 
lettered,  by  Bradstreet's.     [See  reproduction  of  title-page.]

Lamb's  Poetry  for  Children  is  the  rarest  of  Lamb  items.  It  was  published  by 
Godwin  in  1809,  and  not  re-issued.  Two  frontispieces  were  published  with  it, 
whi(?h  are  the  two  plates  included  in  this  volume.  It  soon  went  out  of  print,  and 
Godwin  issued  this  volume  of  selections,  announcing  that  the  "Poetry  for  Children" 
was  "Out  of  Print,  but  the  Best  Pieces  Inserted  in  Mylius'  First  Book  of  Poetr>-." 
Twenty-three  of  the  poems  are  by  Charles  and  Mary  Lamb,  that  on  p.  19  being 
a  first  appearance.  It  was  evidently  issued  late  in  1810,  and  post-dated,  as  the 
plates  have  engraved  on  them  "Published  November  ist,  1810." 

Enclosed  in  gilt  and  lettered  dark  green  morocco  solander  case.

♦First  Edition.     Edited   by   Basil    Montagu.     Lamb's  essay   is  contained    at   pp. 

201-215.     It  was  originally  published  in  "The  Philanthropist"  for  January,  1813, 

and   included  in  this  volume  without  his  permission.     The  natural  effect  was  to 

make  the  usually  "Gentle  Elia"  very  wroth,  a  state  of  mind  which  lasted  in  this 

case  for  a  considerable  time.     Lamb  wrote  in   one  of  his  letters:     "I   understand 

you  have  got  a  snivelling  methodistical  adulteration  of  my  Essay  on  Drunkenness— 

I  wish  very  much  to  see  how  far  Mr.  Basil  Montagu's  Philanthropical  St'oundrels 

have  gone  to  make  me  a  Sneak."

*  In  May,  1833,  Lamb  had  decided  to  take  liis  sister  to  Hdmonton,  as  her 
attacks  were  increasing  in  frequency.  He  had  once  humorously  written  to  Hood 
that  to  change  habitations  was  to  die  with  them,  and  that  in  his  time  he  had 
died  seven  deaths.  This  change  to  Edmonton  was  his  last,  as  he  died  the  follow- 
ing year.  In  the  letter  he  writes:  /  am  driven  from  Home  by  Mary's  illness. 
I  took  a  sudden  resolution  to  take  my  sister  to  Edmonton  .  .  .  Thank  God  I  have  •< 
repudiated  Enfield.  I  have  got  out  of  hell,  despair  of  heaven,  and  must  sit  dou-n

330  POEMS  ON  VARIOUS  SUBJECTS.    8vo.  full  dark  green  crushed 

levant  morocco  gilt,  gilt  top,  uncut.      Carlisle:   Printed  by  F.  Jollie^ 

1795- 

*  First  Edition,  and  Very  Rare.  Apparently  the  First  Copy  to  appear  in  the 
American  Auction  Room.  The  author  was  noted  for  his  friendship  with  Charles 
Lamb  and  Coleridge,  they  writing  poetry,  and  including  them  in  each  other's  books. 
These  poems  were  written  by  Lloyd  about  the  period  of  his  first  acquaintance  with 
Lamb.  This  copy  was  formerly  Robert  Southey's,  having  inscribed  in  it  "Robert 
Southey,  October  i,  1796,"  and  probably  \vas  presented  to  him  by  the  author,  for 
in  it  occurs  several  manuscript  corrections  apparently  in  Lloyd's  handwriting.  The 
most  important  of  these  is  on  page  98,  where  one  verse  has  been  scored  through, 
and  a  new  version  made  of  the  first  line  of  the  following  verse.  The  song  called 
"Rosamund  Gray"  may  have  suggested  the  title  for  Charles  Lamb's  composition, 
published  two  years  later. 

331  POEMS  ON  THE  DEATH  OF  PRISCILLA   FARMER,  by  her 

Grandson,  Charles  Lloyd.  Folio,  pp.  27,  in  the  original  marbled 
wrappers,  uncut,  and  enclosed  in  covers  of  full  dark  green  crushed 
levant  morocco,  gilt  and  lettered,  by  Root.  Bristol:  Printed  by 
N.  Biggs,  1796. 

*  Exceedingly  Rare,  and  an  immaculate  copy.  Uf  great  .Association  interest, 
being  the  copy  presented  by  Lloyd  to  his  sister  (who  married  the  brother  of  Words- 
worth) with  presentation  inscription  in  the  author's  hand,  "Priscilla  Lloyd,  24th 
July,  1800,"  and  with  manuscript  alterations  and  corrections  by  the  author  written 
in.  Contains  an  introductory  poem  by  Samuel  Taylor  Coleridge,  and  Charles 
Lamb's  poem  on  the  death  of  his  grandmother.  The  poems  of  Lamb  incluilcd  in 
Coleridge's  volume  of  verse  of  1796  are  usually  considered  to  be  the  former's  first 
appearance  in  print,  but  the  poem  "The  Grandame"  was  probably  written  much 
earlier,  as  the  grandmother  died  in  1792.  This,  however,  is  its  original  form,  it 
being  slightly  altered  in  later  editions.  Of  the  manuscript  alterations  by  the  author, 
some  were  adopted  in  the  re-issue  of  them,  published  by  Coleridge  in  1797-  Six 
lines  are  here  added  to  Sonnet  VH,  which  were  not  adopted  in  the  later  issue, 
though  an  alteration  in  the  earlier  part  was.  Sonnet  V  was  entirely  omitted  in 
1797,  there  being  only  10  sonnets  in  that  edition,  instead  of  11,  as  in  this.

valuable  for  literary  criticism— is  that  the  passages  which  have  been  borrowed

385  RUDOLPH;  or,  the  Robbers  of  Calabria,  a  Melo  Drama  in  three 
Acts,  as  performed  in  the  Boston  Theatre,  by  John  B.  Turnbull. 
Boston,  1807;  also  bound  in  the  same  volutnc,  THE  WOOD 
DAEMON;  or,  the  Clock  has  Struck,  a  Drama,  \)S  John  U. 
Turnbull,  Boston,   1808.      i6mo,  half  calf. 

•Interesting  because  of  the  fact  that  in  the  cast  of  the  second  book  (The  Wood 
Damon)  Mr.  Poe  appears  as  one  of  the  dancers.  This  was  the  father  of  Edgar 
Allan  Poe,  and  is  one  of  the  few  items  in  existence  showing  his  connection  with 
the  stage.  The  author  also  states  in  his  preface  that  Robert  Treat  Paine  made 
some  suggestions  as  to  alteration  in  the  piece,  so  that  the  drama  was  the  work  of 
both  authors.

*  First  Edition.  Fine  and  Clean  copy,  with  the  slip  on  the  first  two  numbers 
pasted  over  the  original  title  of  the  Germ,  and  containing  the  second  title  of 
"Art  and  Poetry."  The  original  wrappers  to  the  parts  are  of  the  greatest  im- 
portance as  containing  the  contents  and  names  of  the  contributors  (they  not 
appearing  elsewhere,  nor  was  any  other  contents  ever  issued)  and  also  as  con- 
taining the  varying  addresses  to  the  public,  and  the  errata. 

The  four  parts  include  50  poems  and  articles,  written  by  Dante  Gabriel  Rossetti, 
Christina  Rossetti,  W.  M.  Rossetti,  W.  Bell  Scott,  Thomas  Woolner,  Ford  Madox 
Brown,  and  Coventry  Patmore.  The  most  famous  of  all  the  poems  is  Rossetti's 
Blessed  Damozel,  which  appears  here  in  its  first  form,  the  author  later  changing 
it  somewhat. 

The  present  copy  was  the  property  of  the  printer,  G.  F.  Tupper,  who  financed 
the  undertaking  until  its  abrupt  termination,  and  inserted  is  an  interesting  letter 
by  him  referring  to  it.

[London,   1869.] 

*  When  Rossetti's  wife  died  in  1862,  he  gathered  up  all  the  manuscripts  of  his 
poems  and  laid  them  in  her  coffin,  and  they  were  accordingly  buried  with  her. 
Several  years  after,  at  the  earnest  solicitation  of  his  friends,  consent  was  reluc- 
tantly wrung  from  him  to  recover  the  manuscripts.  This  was  done,  and  Rossetti 
prepared  a  copy  for  the  press,  with  the  intention  of  making  only  a  very  few  copies 
for  strictly  private  purposes.  This  intention  never  got  much  further,  though  a  few- 
copies  were  so  issued,  and  second  thoughts  led  the  author  to  publish  the  poems  for 
general  sale,  which  was  accomplished  in  1870,  the  edition  being  issued  in  that  year. 

The  proof  sheets  here  described  are  of  this  first  private  issue,  and  are  of  extreme 
rarity.  Poems  are  included  that  were  not  contained  in  the  published  edition  of 
1870,  and  scarcely  a  poem  in  that  edition  is  found  as  printed  in  this  of  1869. 
Alterations,  modifications,  and  omissions  occur  throughout.  The  pagination  is  very 
irregular,  and  in  one  or  two  instances  a  page  has  been  printed  twice.  .A  few  places 
are  marked  for  printer's  corrections,  .'\mong  the  leaves  are  the  proof  sheets  com- 
plete of  Rossetti's  "Hand  and  Soul,"  which  was  issued  in  the  very  limited  private 
edition  the  same  _\ear  (the  preceding  lot),  eviileiitly  from  this  setting  up  of  type, 
and  by  the  same  printers.

?/•  /9  d  *  This  story  first  appeared  in  an  Annual  in  1837,  ^nd  the  present  private  reprint 

was  consented  to  by  Ruskin,  who  wrote  as  follows: 

"When  you  and  the  too  indulgent  friends  for  'ujhom  you  design  your  little 
pamphlet,  and  to  the  small  circle  of  'whom  you  promised  to  restrict  it,  etc.  .  .  "  It 
would  thus  appear  that  Ruskin  had  insisted  on  limiting  the  issue  to  a  very  few 
copies.  The  printers  were  Strangeways  &  Walden,  who  printed  for  Mr.  Ruskin 
two  other  privately  circulated  pamphlets  during  the  same  year.

*  One  of  the  difficulties  of  the  collector  of  novels  of  Sir  Walter  Scott  is  to  obtain 
complete  sets  of  the  first  issues,  from  the  fact  that  some  of  the  earlier  novels,  such 
as  "Guy  Mannering,"  and  "Waverley"  are  very  hard  to  procure.  A  few  of  the 
half  titles  are  lacking,  but  an  absolutely  complete  set  of  First  Editions  is  almost 
impossible  to  be  secured.     This  set  is  a  very  fine  and  handsome  one.

in  these  two  places  cut  out  by  Shelley  himself,  and  some  copies  also  without  the 
dedication.  It  is  said  that  the  poet  only  printed  250  copies  of  this  edition,  and  it 
is  not  well  understood  why  he  defaced  the  copies  in  the  way  he  did  by  cutting  out 
his  name,  as  even  those  he  presented  to  his  most  intimate  friends — his  future  wife, 
Mary  Godwin,  for  instance — were  thus  mutilated,  though  in  this  particular  case 
he  left  the  dedication.  The  exceptional  condition  of  this  copy  can  be  easily  seen, 
which  is  in  the  original  boards  and  uncut.  Very  few  books  of  suCh  rarity  can  be 
described  as  having  all  the  collector's  points,  as  in  this  example.

468  LETTERS  OF  PERCY  BYSSHE  SHELLEY.  With  an  Intro- 
ductory Essay  by  Robert  Browning.  Post  8vo,  original  cloth,  uncut. 
London:  Moxon^  1852. 

*  First  and  only  edition,  as  issued.  One  of  the  most  ingenious  literary  forgeries 
of  modern  times.  All  of  the  details  were  so  carefully  executed  that  they  deceived 
experts,   and   Browning  was  induced  to  add  the   Introductory  Essay,   which  is  a 

/  most  valuable  piece  of  critical  writing.     The  genuineness  of  the  letters  was  first 

called  into  question  by  F.  T.  Palgrave,  who  saw  the  book  at  Tennyson's  house,  and 
accidentally  opened  it  at  a  passage  that  he  recognized  as  taken  from  a  published 
article  by  his  father.  The  book  was  rigidly  suppressed,  and  the  remaining  copies 
destroyed,  and  as  only  a  few  had  got  into  circulation,  it  is  now  very  rare. 

The  present  copy  belonged  to  Leigh  Sotheby,  who  has  added  interesting  MS. 
notes  on  the  fly-leaf.  The  Forgery  is  attributed  to  George  Byron,  said  to  be  the 
natural  son  of  Byron  and  the  Maid  of  Athens.

530  POEMS.      By  Two   Brothers.      8vo.      London:  For   IV.    Simpkin  and 

R.  Marshall,  1827. 

*  A  Fine  Uncut  Copy  on  Large  Paper  of  the  First  Edition  of  the  First  Work  of 
Alfred  Tennyson,  in  the  Original  Buff  Boards,  the  back  carefully  repaired. 

All  three  brothers — Alfred,  Charles,  and  Frederick — contributed  to  it,  but,  it  is 
said,  bound  themselves  never  to  reveal  who  wrote  this  or  that  piece.  After  Lord 
Tennyson's  death,  his  son  Hallam,  with  Frederick — one  of  the  authors — endeavored 
to  determine  the  respective  authorships,  and  decided  that,  of  the  103  poems,  42 
were  by  Alfred,  48  by  Charles,  3  by  Frederick,  and  the  remainder  doubtful.  The 
^  brothers  were  only  schoolboys   at  this  time,   and  obtained  £20  for  the  copyright, 

which,  however,  was  only  on  the  condition  of  its  being  taken  out  in  books.  The 
original  manuscript  was  some  time  ago  sold  in  New  York  for  $3,500.  None  of  the 
poems  were  ever  reprinted  by  Lord  Tennyson  himself.  Exceedingly  Rare  on 
Large  Paper. 

Enclosed  in  handsome  full  crimson  levant  morocco  solander  case,  gilt.  [See 
reproduction  of  title-page.]

London:  Moxon,  1833. 

*  A  beautiful  copy  of  a  rare  volume,  with  the  leaf  of  advertisement.  Though 
dated  1833,  the  poems  were  really  published  in  the  winter  of  1832.  The  volume 
contains  many  poems  which  Tennyson  would  never  allow  to  be  reprinted,  and 
alterations  were  made  in  others.  It  also  contains  the  first  appearance  of  "The 
Lady  of  Shalott,"  "The  May  Queen,"  "Dream  of  Fair  Women,"  and  others  of  his 
most  famous  pieces.

^  ^^  O  ^  London:  Moxon,  1842. 

*  The  second  volume,  with  one  exception,  consists  of  poems,  previously  unpub- 
lished. The  remaining  poems,  reprinted  from  the  edition  of  1833,  were  much 
altered,  and  seven  new  pieces  were  added  to  the  first  volume.

"  My  wish  is  that  my  Drawings,  my  Prints,  my  Curiosities, 
my  Books — in  a  word  these  things  of  art  which  have  been 
the  joy  of  my  life — shall  not  be  consigned  to  the  cold  tomb 
of  a  museum,  and  subjected  to  the  stupid  glance  of  the 
careless  passer-by;  but  1  require  that  they  shall  all  be 
dispersed  under  the  hammer  of  the  Auctioneer,  so  that  the 
pleasure  which  the  acquiring  of  each  one  of  them  has  given 
me  shall  be  given  again,  in  each  case,  to  some  inheritor  of 
my  own  tastes."
